Just follow the skinny railroad tracks west to find the lab. The blizzard in-game quest helper points to it too. Shells are all over the ground. Make sure you pick up the other two quests in this area to save time.

Description

The Naga started making a move on the peninsula here after we finished building this rocketway terminal. But there's no problem in this world that can't be solved with gratuitous firepower! That's what my daddy used to say. Before the accident. I'm running short on supplies, though. Do me a favor and collect the mortar shells I left stockpiled in the Secret Lab just west of here. Keep me supplied and I'll let you call in the artillery strikes!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • DozercismAzshara · Level 5-30

    ...what we need is a priest! Fortunately I have a small budget set aside for the blessing of machinery. Take this flare gun and head over to Margene, my poor sweet busted bulldozer. Fire off the signal and one of our finest airborne priests should airdrop in to get a handle on the situation.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To Gut a FishAzshara · Level 5-30

    It tries my patience, defending against creatures who can disappear into the sea at will and emerge where they please. But I will not back down until their like has been wiped from Azshara. Spitelash Naga have slithered up the cliff walls and are besieging this post from the east.
